Description:
Born in Bucharest, Romania and moved to Munich in 1970, graphic designer, did woodblock work, wall painting, musical and theatrical activities. The artist spent some time in Cyprus pre-1974 and was a friend with the Cypriot painter Adamantios Diamantis. She was an ethnographer intrigued by the Cypriot culture and life and tried to adopt her work and her titles to reflect Cyprus. Based on the eighteenth century engraving of the Mother of God of Kykko, the artist presents her own version. Surrounded by scenes of Cyprus, Mother of God remains the central figure but at the bottom part of the print, Rheinfelder has added her own prayer ‘God be with us with blessing and peace’. On the left hand corner is the coat of arms of the Republic of Cyprus.
